Sinopse

History of Measurement explores the captivating evolution of how humans have quantified the world, from ancient approximations to modern precision. It uncovers measurement's critical role in scientific advancement, highlighting how it underpins nearly every facet of modern life, from construction to international commerce.

 
Intriguingly, early measurement systems relied heavily on the human body and natural phenomena, like the cubit in ancient Egypt. The book further emphasizes the standardization efforts that emerged alongside burgeoning trade and scientific inquiry.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, beginning with early measurement systems and their ties to human perception. It then traces the development of standardized units, propelled by trade and the scientific revolution, with the metric system as a pivotal moment. Finally, the text explores cutting-edge technologies in modern measurement, like atomic clocks, showcasing the ongoing pursuit of ultimate precision.

 
The book makes use of historical sources, archaeological findings, scientific papers, and museum artifacts to support its arguments.

  • Returning the Self to Nature - Undoing Our Collective Narcissism and Healing Our Planet - cover

    Returning the Self to Nature -...

    Using the lens of ecopsychology, Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world. But it doesn't have to be that way. 
     
     
     
    Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. 
     
     
       
    Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked—the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa—opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self. 
     
      
     
    Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.

    In the Name of Sharks - 1st Edition

    Twenty meters below water, the oceanographer François Sarano came face to face with a five-and-a-half-meter great white shark. Seduced by the gentle elegance of this majestic creature, Sarano experienced a profound sense of affinity with her as they swam side by side, shoulder to shoulder, eye to eye, cutting a single figure through the ocean depths. It was an experience which made him realize the depth of our ignorance of the lives of sharks, leading him to become a passionate advocate for their protection. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on the latest scientific research on the biology and ethology of sharks and their exceptional characteristics, this book aims to break through the barrier of prejudice and to pay homage to their true nature. Representing a last vestige of wildness, their populations are nevertheless under threat—like so many species, they have been hunted and exploited by humans. Sarano argues for a change of mindset in which we lose ourselves in the world of the other, so that each living entity, human and non-human, can take their rightful place in the broader global ecosystem.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    Recent Stanford research reveals a troubling truth: developers using AI tools report feeling 20% more productive, yet are actually 19% slower. Even worse, AI-generated code contains 80% more security vulnerabilities than human-written code. 
    Transform Your Development Workflow with 52 Battle-Tested Practices 
    Written by Rachel Kim, a senior software engineer with 12+ years of experience, The AI-Assisted Developer is the definitive guide for professional software engineers who want to leverage GitHub Copilot, Cursor AI, ChatGPT, and Claude without compromising code quality or security standards. 
    This isn't another "ChatGPT tricks" tutorial. It's a systematic engineering approach that treats AI as a capable junior developer who needs clear direction and thorough review—not magic that works automatically. 
    What You'll Master: 
    • Context-First Prompt Engineering: Write prompts that generate production-ready code, not plausible-looking garbage that breaks in production 
    • Security-First Validation: Catch the subtle authentication logic errors and authorization flaws that AI consistently introduces 
    • Strategic Task Breakdown: Learn which tasks to delegate to AI and which require human architectural thinking • Comprehensive Testing Workflows: Generate meaningful unit tests, integration tests, and edge cases that actually catch bugs 
    • Legacy Code Modernization: Use AI to understand, refactor, and migrate complex systems safely 
    • Team Collaboration Standards: Scale AI practices across your organization with proven frameworks and quality gates 
    Perfect for: 
    Senior engineers who want productivity gains without skill atrophy 
    Technical leads implementing AI practices across development teams 
    Software architects balancing innovation with code quality 
    Any developer building production systems who needs to move faster without breaking things 
    The Future Belongs to Engineers Who Master AI Assistance
